This is a sudden predicament. I was rebooting and poof- it fails to come up. So I am htinking hardware error... but I can boot therescue CD just fine, and I can mount and manipulate the /, /usr and /var partitions perfectly.
Or- it did once. It is no longer...
Ideas?? Help-
Well, turns out I an make it boot off of some floppies. Like a freesh Suse one. Which wouldn't be bad for a temporary solution- after I boot into the installer I can chose 'bboot installed system, and most everything works-- except my 3com 509 for some reason (works ine in my notmal srtup) and that kernel doesn't have any IPMasq on. So I tried to be smart. dd if=/dev/fdo of=/tmp/file.img (switch disks) dd if=/tmp/file.img of=/dev/fd0 mount floppy, replace the old ram disk w/ the one I usually boot from and the kernel w/ my own home brewed (that works fine afaik) but poof- reboot, and it's LI again Any idea? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
